Driving it

Fun, fast and really flexible, the torque from the engine is quite something given the size of it combined with good gear ratios too.

Easy, nice light steering & good visibility.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
No, its just had the first service and I'm enjoying clocking up the miles.
What's most practical about your car?
It can fit five people in, but its a bit of a squeeze in the back if your tall. It copes well with our kids in though (1yrold & 7yrold) plus pushchair & other bits n' bobs that kids accumulate.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Mines got the ecomotive stop & start system fitted so that means cheaper road tax, and I went for sport trim which included bigger alloys, leather steering wheel & gear stick, dark tinted glass and improved suspension plus sports seats.
